Blawnox recently passed an ordinance that being addicted to texting is a legal disability, allowing texters to sit in the front of the bus, park in handicap zones, ignore their children while texting, and text all day at work without being fired. Their justification is that “it might maybe be important.” ---

For some reason, Archie, Jughead, Veronica and the rest of those half-wits in Ms Grundy’s class have been hanging around the Rivendell Mall food court for the past two weeks, belting down Orange Julius. Sadly, Julius was held back a year. ---

_My Life Is The Pits_ is also the autobiography of Arlo “Steady” MacGumphrey, who worked in the pit crew for Dale Ernhart, Sr. for thirty-three years, and for Dale, Jr. for six days. Junior apparently did not care for the attention Steady was paying Mrs. Junior, the former Gigi LaBounce. ---

As an adult, Alice Liddell owned and operated a restaurant–called, funnily enough, “Liddell’s Eatery,”–but was closed down by the Health Department, due to the massive pile-up of giant rabbit feces, caterpillar scales/hookah ashes, Mercury deposits and Dodo feathers that she just shoveled out the back door of the establishment. **CheshireKat** , wisely, never ate there. Or, at least, was never _seen_ eating there. :dubious: ---

Liddell’s Eatery popularized the use of floor pillows and pillows for the chairs. It seems that some pillows make you smaller, some make you tall. The pillows a mother would bring from home don’t do anything at all. Go ask Alice about this she’ll give you a call. Arlo attempted a song about this but passed it off to a struggling Frisco songstress. It never sold, evidently. ---

Noted actor and cat fancier Orson Bean was called, at various points in his Blawnox childhood, a nerd, a dweeb, a fool, an idjit, a moron, a maroon, a nimrod, a peckerhead, a jerk, an asshole, a douchebag and a charlemagne. According to his 1977 Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography, _Someday They’ll Mention Me on the Straight Dope_, “I never did figure out what the kid meant with that last one.” ---

Kettle corn was accidentally discovered when, after smoking some really killer weed, Chuck Pumpkins discovered the only food he had in the house was popcorn kernels, cooking oil and a bag of sugar. Craving something sweet, he added the sugar to the cooking oil and made the first batch of “Kettle Corn–Healthy popcorn that cures the munchies.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/made-up-false-and-flat-out-wrong-trivia-dominoes/686580.md?page=446) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/made-up-false-and-flat-out-wrong-trivia-dominoes/686580.md?page=448)
